MUTATE BRITAIN OPENING!

Last night was the opening of MUTATE BRITAIN in Curtain Road, Hoxton, the Mutoid Waste Company's Art extavaganza! Spread over 4 floors, the exhibition has all sorts of amazing stuff, from a Jet car (a reall friggin' Russian 4X4 with jet fuselage) to paintings, sculpture, prints, ceramics, and 'urban' art.

I got there early to hook up with Brett Ewins (2000ad Luminary, mentor, and fine artist). There was already a queue, snaking it's way up the street...and looking up, there were huge inflatable green tentacles up the top of the building!

I managed to circumvent the queue and sneak in, and had a sane 5 minutes to try and take afew pics before it got so busy it became pointless to try photograph stuff. (I'm a rubbish photographer anyway..)

There was a free bar, so i bundled up there, grabbed a cocktail, and worked my way down the building, past burlesque dancers, a band, tattooist, print workshop display, coffee shop and hundreds of pieces of art...

You've got to go and check it out...it's on for a month, and is incredible.

Many of the pieces are for sale (hint, cough)...

A huge thanks to Alex Wreckage Wright, who curated the show, and did a truly beautiful painting to, for invitingme, and getting this whole thing together.... What a sterling job Sir!

And..Thank you to all those working last night, and Mutoid Waste for making this all possible.

Here's some awful photos by Captain Crap-Photo..
